Strong Case for Backing Under 2.5 Goals

There could be some merit in betting Under 2.5 when it comes to the Total Goals market. Stoke and QPR might play out a low-scoring contest and we’re happy to take the odds of 1.67.

1-1 Draw in Most Recent H2H

Stoke City suffered a defeat in their last game. A 1-0 scoreline occurred away from home at The Den against Millwall. The Potters had one shot on target and 43% possession.

Queens Park Rangers drew their previous game which was at home. The action at Loftus Road ended 2-2 against Leeds United. Marti Cifuentes' men enjoyed just 34% possession and had four shots on goal, while Koki Saito and Steve Cook were both on target.

The last clash between QPR and Stoke saw the former host a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road. It’s been four QPR wins, three draws and three Stoke victories in the past 10 H2H matches.
